geographical imagination by developing a twofold schema representing geography's ontological project and epistemological process, an approach that unites existing professional and substantive ethical concerns among geographers. The top panels summarize in a schematic fashion the results of the simulation of climate at 18 ka and 9 ka (ka = thousands of radiocarbon years ago) by using a general circulation model (the National Center for Atmospheric Research's Community Climate Model). The location of these stored hazardous materials is, in fact, controlled by the spatial mechanics of the river system. from Estudi Ramon Folch - Gestió i
As political, economic, and environmental issues increasingly spread across the globe, the science of geography is being rediscovered by scientists, policymakers, and educators alike. What does the spatial distribution of vegetation or homeless people or language traits tell us about how physical and human processes work? Consequently, ethnic conflict has increasingly attracted the attention of the scientific and policy making communities. Answering geographic questions of this sort requires careful analysis of the spatial character of pollution and the dynamic interactions between humans and their environment as a function of place.

An infectious disease (AIDS in Uganda) A non-infectious disease (Coronary Heart Disease) Here's how you can help!. How do processes that operate at one geographic scale affect processes at other scales? The Vance-Owen plan came out of an attempt to divide the country on the basis of highly generalized ethnolinguistic maps. This analysis suggested that publicly financed industrial production has a different geographic pattern than privately funded industrial activity because of strategic considerations such as the decentralization of production and the importance of relationships among defense contractors, military offices, and congressional budget decisions. One analysis in Iowa (Armstrong et al., 1991) showed that mothers who lived far from the hospital where their child was delivered were more likely to have a low-birth-weight infant.
